Bakvendte bøker latterliggjøres: Hvorfor det? Bøkene i hyllen er dekor. Bøkene vi leser, ligger da på nett.

@MichelleBellish @robertkaplinsky Why would you want to square a negative number, if you don't know whether it is the right number? Unless, you are computer, that is. By all means, I agree that some calculation skill is useful, but the conceptual understanding, mathematisation and problem solving are essential.

[Hans Georg Schaathun @hgeorgsch]

@hisenhardt @robertkaplinsky Whether it affects the teaching or not, it does affect the learning. Students stop paying attention to what is not tested. I am trying this at 1st semester Uni, and I expect to sacrifice a couple of cohorts before the contents of new exam papers start to sink in.

How students can help get bad maths questions out of classrooms - answer them honestly! well done to this one!

A very readable page on field extensions, Galois theory, splitting fields, automorphisms, etc by @nrichmaths (great source for math) can be found at -> https://t.co/HFhHeKn72z

@CriticalSkills1 @edutopia Learners are learners, but some learners learn more than others.
In particular, the ability to wonder about anything is often lost before the learner gets to uni. It is hard work to reawaken it.

[Hans Georg Schaathun @hgeorgsch]

@edutopia Well. I notice - a good problem solving technique. I wonder - how effective would this be at university? #highered

@Larryferlazzo @joboaler @EdWeekTeacher Thank you very much.

[Hans Georg Schaathun @hgeorgsch]

@joboaler @EdWeekTeacher @Larryferlazzo I tried to look up the references in your essay, but without titles I found but one (on virtual manipulatives). Can you help with the others pls? I am particularly looking for one studying the students' own creation (rather than manipulation) of visual expressions. TIA

[Hans Georg Schaathun @hgeorgsch]

@dyong I have met some senior colleagues who had their first job as a computer. No doubt the the typical maths course is very appropriate for such a career. When will we realise that our students will never become computers?

@joboaler @EdWeekTeacher @Larryferlazzo Wonderful words about visual expressions of #math . That is indeed underused; in #HigherEducation too.

@arnek Monn ikke studenten er viktigere ...

[Hans Georg Schaathun @hgeorgsch]

@robertkaplinsky Akin to my business students I think. Unit cost and marginal cost are easily calculated. Thereafter asked what price is required to break even, ~2 out of 135 have a clue. Many students equate unit and marginal cost and solve the equation to find cost optimum ... #Math

@JFHatlen @NTNU @NTNUHumanities Men hvordan inspirerer du studentene til å gå aktivt inn i samarbeidet? Det virker i matematikk òg - for de studentene som er interessert. #innovativutdanning

@robertkaplinsky Thanks for posting. If it takes an absurd question to make students think, then we are in serious trouble as teachers.
